We Should All Live by Drake's Mom's 72-Hour Rule

Last night Drake dropped his fourth studio album, Views.Predictably, Drizzy has a lot of feelings, but don't go making any sudden movements or calling your ex too quickly. In an exclusive interview with Zane Lowe for OVO Sound Radio, the sensitive Canadian shared some valuable advice on managing your emotions.

"My mom has this thing called the 72-hour rule. It happened years and years and years ago, the first time I ever had...it was just when the culture of the Internet, like the blog gossip culture, was happening, and they edited some picture of me and my cousin."

"I was like, Oh, this is it! Everyone is going to believe this, look at the edit. It was crazy, something crazy. My mom said to me, 'You know what, you'll go to sleep tonight, you'll wake up and it'll still bother you. Then you'll go to sleep again and you'll wake up and it'll bother you a little less. And then on the third day you'll wake up and someone else will have done something stupid enough that everyone will forget.'

"That's the 72-hour rule. I've learned to control my emotions for those first two or three days. That's why I don't run to social media and start yapping about my anger or my frustration, I let it sit, and it always goes away."
